..now dorothy, click your heels together 3 times

..yay im HOME.............
and i cant remember if dorothy clicks the red shoes together 3 or 4 times either, i think 3

am RATHER happy to be home i must say
my freind ran extremely well in the mara on sund 3.06nett,3.07 gun. she pulled up really well too which was pleasing
anyway stayed in an apartment with a couple of ppl and was quite happy to go solo and spend night in the hotel.
the hotel amenities and eevrything were fantastic. even maanged a water run(got a bit dizzy) as it was about a 4x4m bit that was deep enough. anyway timing perfect-finishing just as all the kids descended.
now when i say the hotel was great-that was first impressions
the didnt give me soap, id asked once and then went back down

..can i please have some soap as i want to take a shower
..we've run out of soap,the suppliers etc etc
..well what are you going to do about it
..we are waiting for a delivery
..yes but surely you have to provide soap
..as i said we're waiting on delivery (as if i care, im thinking they should go to the supermarket!!!!i want some fricking soap
..well surely there are other people having this issue, what have they done
..i think they have gone to the supermarket and bought soap
..thats ridiculous -a hotel should provide soap

and i STORMED off. was not very happy with this service(lack of)

and then all smoothly onto the plane hte next day and now am home. went to the track last night

was a bit concerned with the legs. yep they were tired-and whilst maybe slightly slower than i would have been, they felt good after it was over

reps were 4x1km-with exended rest btw the 2nd and 4th
4.06,4.02 then big break like 5mins while the others did another rep 4,05,4.04
gotta be happy with that. havent really done many 1kms. and after 3 consecutive weeks of TRASHING the legs 15km race,80mins at ferny and then 10km, i think they are holding up well

achilles didnt hurt :) at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh and Andrew-a TENS machine is a small current that runs btw two pads, just kinda breaks up teh crap and loosens things up(i think). physios use a larger version of it. great for my back, and very useful when tight(i use on my calves fairly regularly)

anyway i know people lament coming home, but i LOVE it. i only like to travel for a few days at a time b4 i strt missing my home and my comfort and of course my bf too :)

I think she says "there is no place like home" three times then does the clicking? Maybe? Anyway I am with you- always happy to come home! And boo for the hotel for failing to provide soap! Sara (I swear the word verification machine read your post because it says "mingiest')

No soap! I woulda told them to go to the frigging supermarket and buy some more soap, you were paying for their hospitality, if you wanted to buy your own soap you'd have stayed at a youth hostel!

Pretty sure she clicks her heels 3 times and says "there's no place like home" 3 times.
